Out-of-Class Experiences with Faculty

Faculty at Illinois State maintain a strong commitment to undergraduate instruction and mentoring. Every semester, approximately 100 undergraduate psychology students work with faculty, either on an individual basis or in small teams, on meaningful psychological research. Students report that these experiences are among the most valuable aspects of their educational experience. Students primarily work with faculty on research projects by enrolling in PSY 290 Special Projects: Research Apprenticeship (formerly PSY 290.01) and PSY 390 Advanced Research Apprenticeship. Students also study specialized topics, with faculty direction, by enrolling in PSY 287 Independent Study and IDS 395.03 Honors Thesis: Psychology.

Students can also work with faculty to assist with teaching activities by in PSY 291 Special Projects: Undergraduate Teaching (formerly PSY 290.02) and PSY 391 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Apprenticeship. To learn about these opportunities, students should contact faculty members who are teaching courses that are of interest.
